"I'm back!"
As soon as Tang Xiaoxin was home, she heard a steady "chop chop chop" sound from the kitchen.
She ran to the kitchen and saw Mother Tang chopping green onion and ginger, with a marinated fish beside her and the oil in the wok already starting to smoke slightly, "Wow, are we having fish for dinner?"
Mother Tang shooed her away: "Get out, get out, I'm about to start cooking. Don't let the oil splatter on you!"
"Oh," Tang Xiaoxin obediently agreed!
There was a bout of sizzling sounds that followed, mingled with the tantalizing aroma of fish, and then the kitchen door was shut, and the sound of the extractor fan could be heard.
Tang Xiaoxin then sat on the couch, holding Little Blackie and stroking the cat while scrolling through her phone, preparing to pick out a few nice photos to post a status update.
